Quick Facts

• Yield: Serves 2
• Prep Time: 10 minutes
• Cook Time: 5 minutes
• Total Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients

For the Main Dish:

• 2 slices of hearty bread (sourdough or whole grain work great)
• 1 ripe avocado
• 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp lemon juice
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Optional: fresh basil or parsley for garnish

How I Make It

Step 1:

Start by toasting your bread slices until they’re golden and crisp—this gives you that perfect crunch to contrast with the creamy avocado.

Step 2:

While the bread is toasting, cut your avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Add the lemon juice and a pinch of salt, then mash it roughly with a fork. Keep it a bit chunky so you get that lovely texture.

Step 3:

Slice your cherry tomatoes in half, then toss them gently with a drizzle of olive oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper to bring out their natural sweetness.

Step 4:

Spread a generous layer of the mashed avocado on each slice of toast. Don’t be shy—this is where the creaminess really shines.

Step 5:

Scatter the seasoned cherry tomatoes on top of the avocado, then crumble feta cheese over everything. The feta adds that tangy, salty punch that really ties the whole thing together.

Step 6:

Finish with a little extra drizzle of olive oil and, if you have fresh herbs, sprinkle them on top for a fresh, colorful garnish. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Variations & Tips

• Swap feta for goat cheese or ricotta for a creamier texture.
• Add a sprinkle of red pepper flakes if you like a little heat.
• Use multi-grain or rye bread for a deeper, nuttier flavor.
• Try adding a poached egg on top for extra protein and richness.
• If avocados aren’t ripe, slice thinly instead of mashing to keep texture intact.
• For extra freshness, add a squeeze of lime or a dash of balsamic glaze.

How I Like to Serve It

This avocado toast is perfect as a light weekend breakfast or a quick lunch paired with a crisp, green salad. On warm days, I love to make a batch and eat it on the porch with iced coffee. It’s also fantastic for brunch parties—simple to prepare but looks so impressive on the table with its bright colors.

Notes

• Best eaten fresh – avocado browns quickly, so avoid storing assembled toast.
• If needed, store mashed avocado separately with plastic wrap pressed on the surface to prevent browning.

Closing: This avocado toast recipe never fails to brighten my day with its fresh flavors and satisfying textures—hope it does the same for you!
